Lizzie Taylor left her home in New Iberia, Louisiana, about 5 minutes before a tornado destroyed it. She now is left without a place to live.
“All of the units are destroyed,” Taylor told CNN. “The landlord let us know he is going to have them demolished.”
Taylor says she and her family have lived in their apartment for about a year.
“I can’t process that any of this is real,” She said, “It just isn’t sinking in.”
As a nurse, Taylor’s first instinct was to help her neighbors. She says she did what she could to assist people that were injured by debris.
For now, Taylor and her family are staying with another family until they can figure out another living situation.
New Iberia, with a population of about 28,000 people, is about 20 miles south of Lafayette.
